Fri, 31 Jul 2015 22:53:40 GMTChiefs just signed UDFA Lavance Taylor.....AFTER he tweeted them a "highlights film" or so the media says.

I know it's only a highlights vid, but I like the kid's gumption. Hope he can EARN a spot on the roster.

So I had a little time on my hands and decided to see how one of the most successful QBs these last 3 years compares with Alex Smith.

I'm not saying this "proves" anything and I don't expect to change anybody's "opinion" but hey.....Wilson has 3 years in the NFL and he has a pretty impressive record. 5 playoff wins. 2 Super Bowl appearances. 1 Super Bowl win. NOBODY is going to say that is not impressive.....RIGHT??????

So Wilson must be HUGELY BETTER than Alex Smith.....RIGHT??????

LET'S LOOK AND SEE.....

I'm only going to compare 2013 and 2014 because Alex was with the 9ers in 2012 and only played 10 games that year...But for the Smith-haters, please be aware that Alex's per game numbers were pretty similar in the 10 games he played in 2012 to the 2 years he played in KC.

I'm not good at putting charts and graphs on bulletin boards like this but I'll do my best. Wilson is in black. Alex is in (red).

FULL DISCLOSURE......All above numbers are from nfl.com. There is a "?" after Alex's # of interceptions in 2014 because my memory is that he had 7 ints last year, not 6.

So what does all this tell us????.....

First off, there is ONLY one stat where Wilson is vastly better than Alex and that is yards per completion. But is anybody REALLY SURPRISED???? We all know our WRs SUCKED in 2014 and were nothing special in 2013. Reid-Dorsey seem to have taken steps to address that problem.

2cond.....Alex Smith's average completion % is ALMOST IDENTICAL to Wilson.

3rd.....Alex Smith averages MORE yards per game passing than Wilson. (remember, Alex only played 15 games per season these 2 years so while he had substantially fewer yards per season, his yards per GAME averaged more yards per game than Wilson....although only by 5.8 yards per game. Essentially, identical numbers.

4th....Alex averages 0.2 fewer touchdowns per game (1.2 FEWER POINTS PER GAME BY PASSING TOUCHDOWN) than Wilson. IS IT JUST POSSIBLE THAT THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH SECOND RATE WIDE RECEIVERS?????

5th.....Alex Smith averages fewer interceptions per season than Wilson. IS THAT A BAD THING????????? I don't think so.

6th....Alex Smith averages fewer sacks per season than Wilson. IS THAT A BAD THING??????? I don't think so.

CONCLUSION......Alex Smith over the last 2 years has been nearly identical to Russell Wilson (the most successful QB in the NFL those same two years in all stats EXCEPT yards per completion.)

The only nagging area where Alex is not almost a TWIN of Wilson (or slightly better) is yards per completion. And unless my memory has completely failed me I think this has been discussed here at some length and that the general consensus has been that this problem has been a combination of sub-standard wide receivers and a weak offensive line.
SUMMATION.... The Chiefs CAN win playoff games with Alex Smith at QB. The Chiefs CAN make the Super Bowl with Alex Smith at QB. The Chiefs CAN win a Super Bowl with Alex Smith at QB. WHY??? Because his VIRTUAL TWIN in stats has won 5 playoff games, made 2 Super Bowls and won one Super Bowl in the last 3 years.
ALEX NEEDS BETTER WIDE RECEIVERS AND A BETTER OFFENSIVE LINE. HAVE WE DONE ENOUGH IN THOSE TWO AREAS? I DON'T KNOW. BUT I DO KNOW THAT ALEX CAN TAKE US WHERE WE WANT TO GO IF WE WILL GIVE HIM THE TOOLS HE NEEDS.

Fri, 31 Jul 2015 17:28:40 GMTY'know, being a Chiefs fan from New England I just plain naturally despise the splats, jets and gints. Just because I get them thrown in my face all the time. Just like I hated the scumskins when I lived in the Washington, DC area.

So I am glad for anything that hurts the splats.

But other than that, does anyone here give a damn about the PSI in the footballs?

I suppose that if the splats had beaten the colts in that game by 1 point or something then a case could be made that this was a big deal. But the splats won by 35 points. I can't bring myself to believe that a few disputed PSI made a 35 point difference.

So what is left is cheating as a principle. The splats have been caught cheating before, so I approve the severe penalty against the team....2 draft picks and $1 million. (does anyone know if that is just $1 million or $1 million in cap money?)

As to the 4 game suspension on Brady....As I said, I'm glad to see the splats lose him, but I wonder if there was really enough evidence to show that Brady knew what was going on?

IMO if Brady was an active part of a conspiracy to under-inflate the balls then 4 games wasn't enough. He should have been banned from the NFL. But with Brady destroying his phone I doubt we'll ever really know.

Maybe the 4 game suspension was a matter of "We can't prove it, but it sure seems likely so instead of a ban we're hitting you with a 4 game suspension." A compromise and deterrent.

I dunno..What do you other Chiefs fans think?

Tue, 28 Jul 2015 23:24:16 GMTWe'll have some sort of news on Eric Berry very soon but we just don't know what that news will be. Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid told reporters up in St. Joe for training camp today that they're hoping to know something within the next day.

"Eric is going through some tests now," Reid said. "We should have an answer for you on Eric within a day here. So far everything is positive but we don't want to give you anything until we have everything."

I don't know what that answer will be. The Chiefs have options such as starting him off on an injury list before training camp starts.

"He's kept himself in good shape believe it or not," Reid said. "He's really done a good job there. Like I said, he's gotta through all the formalities here."

Reid didn't have much information he was willing to share at this point so I'm not sure either.

"We'll get that to you," Reid said in response to more questions. "We're not going to hide anything from you on this."

He may be able to play this year which would be miraculous
